A jet trip to Miami cost US$150,000, around R$806,000, according to Luis Grande, owner of Baires Fly, the Argentine company that owns the plane used by Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). According to Revista Oeste, the businessman gave the information to the AFP agency.
According to Grande, the payment came from a bank account in the United States and was transferred to an Argentine institution. Gazeta do Povo, which also published the amount, reports that the amount went through an intermediary who lives in the USA.
Grande claimed to have been hired by a broker who sells flights and lives in the United States, but did not reveal his identity. The available reports, therefore, do not say who paid for the trip.
The trip took place days after the second round of elections, which gives the case political weight in a period of attention to the electoral scenario. In the information released so far, there is no indication of public resources used on the flight.
For those who defend fiscal responsibility and predictable rules, the central issue is to separate what has already been proven from what is still reported. The price of a flight weighs little; What matters is knowing where the money came from, who intermediated it and whether those involved will provide clarification.
What changes for the investor
For now, the episode does not change economic indicators or have a direct impact on interest rates, the dollar or the balance sheets of listed companies. The possible effect is indirect: in an election year, cases of embarrassment involving names from the political scene tend to increase noise about the institutional environment, and investors tend to react to this type of uncertainty in future interest rates and exchange rates. If formal developments arise, such as the identification of the payer or an investigation, the reading may change. This report does not provide recommendations for the purchase or sale of assets or price projections.
